He was doing more flapping early this morning (the time was between 6 and 7), then the next time I looked he was gone.

The site says that he will stay at or near the nest for the next 6 weeks while they teach him to hunt.  |

The parent just brought Stormy a little tidbit. And I mean little. It was gobbled up in about 3 minutes.
Then he played with the big stick in the nest for a while. Now he's right under the camera, peering out to what ever's below.
Guess he might stay at the nest again tonight!

Stormy and an adult are at the nest now. Stormy is eating and squawking up a storm between bites - must be complaining about how hungry he was.

Stormy was at the nest all day today, I think. I saw one adult bring him a pretty good sized fish to eat.

I really lucked out today. Checked a few times on the nest throughout the day - Stormy was gone. Then about 4 my time, 7 Stormy's, I heard a lot of squawking. One adult flew to the nest with a fish. Then the other adult joined him. the first flew off and the second took a few bites of fish. that's when Stormy arrived. The adult flew off and Stormy proceeded to eat the fish. He was more than half done when an adult flew to the nest. Stormy put up a fuss, spreading his wings over the fish and putting his head down over it to protect it and squawking. He ate most of the fish, but you could tell the adult wanted some. so then the other adult brought another fish to the nest and flew off. Stormy and the parent bickered a little over that fish, but he was finally appeased when the adult started feeding him bits of the fish, like he was a baby again! the two of them finished that fish, with Stormy acting quite the baby and trilling for every bite. The adult then flew off and now Stormy is alone in the nest, with a very full tummy. Forecast is for rain tomorrow - I wonder if he'll stay around or fly off again. It was cool to see Stormy land at the nest!  |

The other day I saw Stormy eat a whole fish starting from its tail. He ate everything! I wonder if those bulbous-like things in his nest are rocks or..... skulls...... yuck!

Stormy was really squawking when I went to the site. An adult brought him a fish and he continued to squawk for a few more seconds. Once the adult left the nest he started eating and it took him about 20 minutes to devour the fish.

Yes and the sound effects are something else! Ripping and breaking, etc.....

Today, when I looked, Stormy had the biggest fish I have yet seen at the nest. It was about 75% the length of Stormy himself! He ate on it for awhile, then he appeared to be full and stepped away from it. Or maybe he just got tired of feeding himself. Then an adult came to the nest and the two of them finished off the fish. I don't think Stormy could have eaten that whole fish by himself! It was interesting to see the adult still feeding him, and the trilling noises Stormy made when he wanted more bites!

At the moment, Stormy is really squawking. It sounds like he is either scolding the adults because they have not brought him his supper, or he is pleading for some food.

I haven't seen Stormy in the last few days. I'm happy to know he is still around! I'll keep checking!

I have not seen him either, Carol. My mom checks every morning, and she hasn't seen him either.

I think Tuesday was the last time I saw him. He wasn't on the nest for very long.

I saw one adult eating on the nest this morning. A fish, I believe. Last season, they said they fed quite often on turtles and you could see the turtle shells littering the nest.

All I've seen so far is an empty nest when I've thought to go look. I do like the new angle of the camera.

Do you think it is the same nest? I was under the impression it was a completely different nest. Not sure why though......  |

It seems to me to be a different location. The ground is different.

The Outdoor Channel posted its first comment. They think the eggs will be laid in about two weeks. And the camera will have the night vision too.
